That Marian angle may also help shape the perspective Francis brings to discussions about divorced and remarried Catholics and people in other irregular relationships. It certainly hasn't escaped his attention that when Mary conceived the Christ child, she was technically still outside wedlock.

Francis recalled the point Sunday in his Angelus address before heading out to Piazza di Spagna.

"When the Angel of the Lord calls her 'full of grace,' Mary is 'greatly troubled,' because in her humility she felt like nothing before God," the pope said. "The announcement [that she would bear a child] upset her all the more, in part because she wasn't yet married to Joseph."

It's hard to imagine that his meditations on that moment haven't had an impact on how Francis thinks about the pressures faced by women and couples in all sorts of situations.

The Low Countries are now the lowest of the low. Belgium approves the killing of real.live.children.

This is just insane. Let us write that again.Belgium approves the killing of real.live.children. The Netherlands already has child euthanasia.

The Belgian Senate voted today 50-17 to extend euthanasia to children with disabilities, in a move pro-life advocates worldwide had been fearing would come and expand an already much-abused euthanasia law even further.....The Netherlands already allows children over the age of 12 to request euthanasia with the consent of their parents.

Gardasil, the Merck vaccine against HPV (Human papillomavirus).Not a fetal product vaccine (that we know) but it is manufactured by Merck which uses fetal products in the MMR and ProQuad vaccines. Recently the "Katie Couric Show" discussed the topic of vaccine injury from Gardasil. Here is the unofficial transcript .By the way, Merck also manufactured the recalled Birth Control NuvaRing and distributed the recalled Birth Control IUD Multiload Radiopaque Cu375 IUCDs. And the ultimate conflict of interest, the former CDC (Center for Disease Control) director, Julie Gerberding, is now the head of Merck’s vaccine division. Educate yourself about Gardasil at Truth About Gardasil.

We weren't going to comment on the L'affair Lev-Williamsbut there is a lesson in this modern day conversion story. [As for the Legion of Christ, our only comment is the sooner the group is finally relegated to the dustheap of history the better.]
Pro-lifers are not unfamiliar with the phenomena of the great Pro-Life leader and their idiot wayward children. Take President Ronald Reagan for example. The loyal Maureen. The idiot wayward Ron Jr and Patti. And the prodigal Michael, now the most stalwart champion of his father's legacy. [A gloss on the family history for sure but you get the point].
The Ms. Lev once wrote, "I grew up Catholic but I left the church with such a door-slamming, bridge-burning attitude that if you'd have told me that when I was 25 that one day all I would ever want to do is go into St. Peter's and talk about God, I would have slapped you silly probably."

We imagine the real reversion was the birth of her son with Down Syndrome. A little child will lead them. Indeed, we are sure that everything her mother, the American defender of Life, Mary Ann Glendon, ever wrote suddenly and shockingly made sense in the light...when her son was "dara alla luce."So our message is this to all those with their marching boots on the ground who have been slogging it out in the trenches for years, there is hope for the wayward children. The Monica-Augustine Story plays out even to this day. Pray and fast for the gift of Faith. Prayers are answered. They will come to the recognition that, without exception, life from conception to natural death is beautiful.PostscriptScandal...(cough, cough)...something we hope you haven't thought we glossed over it. The devil must find it utterly the delicious, the irony of the Ms. Lev, the Tigress of Italian Art History, teaching young religious and seminarians at the Angelicum, the Dominican University in Rome. It was, after all, the Dominican Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor himself, who wrote the book on the Moral Theology and what constitutes a scandal. [The Mr. Williams was a purported expert in Moral Theology, a dubious accolade in hindsight]. We hope that the Angelicum and the Rome Experience will take seriously the ancient admonitions about millstones and little ones.

In the early 1980’s, the average woman in Kenya had 8 children. In the last 30 years, fertility rates fell by 44% to 4.5 children, but this fall has not been enough for the Kenyan National Council for Population and Development (NCPD) or the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) which work closely together. In two governmental papers, the Kenyan government, in conjunction with the UNFPA, outlined a plan to reduce fertility by an additional 42% to 2.6 children per woman by the year 2030

A Generation of Little Emperors ...Scientists claim it has fundamentally changed the psychology of a generation, leaving them less altruistic, trusting and competitive. And all that pampering has left China with one of the fastest growing rates of childhood obesity.

Pro-abortion advocates have relentlessly denied a link between abortion and breast cancer, but a new study has emerged from China that seems to show that such a link not only exists, but that the risk rises with each abortion a woman has.

Mother Jones reports today that the abortion pill Plan B does not work if one is overweight.

The European manufacturer of an emergency contraceptive pill identical to Plan B, also known as the morning-after pill, will warn womenthat the drug is completely ineffective in women weighing more than 176 pounds, and begins to lose effectiveness in women weighing more than 165 pounds. HRA Pharma, which makes the European drug, Norlevo, asked European regulators for permission to change the drug's labeling after reviewing scientific research from 2011 that showed emergency contraceptives are prone to fail in women with higher body mass indexes.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government has postponed the December 4th hearing on the Vaccine Injury and Compensation Program (VICP). Grrr….Ratfinks!The Canary Party writes that "while the community of vaccine injured families is eager to testify, they were finding "reluctance" from others to participate in the hearings. " The "others" being Big Pharma.Just a reminder, once again, of the units that operate under the Department of Health and Human Services umbrella:

Journalist Dan Olmsted , formerly of the Washington Times, links the pattern of deceit and incompetence in the Department Health and Human Services umbrella (Obamacare, CDC, FDA, and the IACC).

The CDC is part of HHS, and there's a pattern here -- bad performance. HHS was asleep at the switch as the Website was "readied" for rollout. CDC and FDA -- also part of HHS -- were asleep at the switch as vaccines containing way too much cumulative mercury were rolled out. The IACC, also under the thumb of HHS, is asleep, period, as the autism epidemic rolls on.

I was at the meeting where Sebelius spoke about all the great work the committee and its chair Tom Insell were doing. Heck of a job, Tommy.Along with everything else, the post-vaccine court autism epidemic is incompetence with a heaping helping of unaccountability piled on top. For those who believe that the federal government simply could not be boneheaded enough to trigger an autism epidemic, and then self-interested enough to hide it and blame every other possible culprit, Obamacare to date is a pungent riposte -- oh yes they can.

In this Washington Post article he has some things to say about Georgetown, Kathleen Seblieus, and abortion.

“If you truly love someone that you think needs to be in rehab, you’ll do everything you possibly can to get them into rehab,” Blatty says. The last straw, he says, was Georgetown’s invitation of Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services,to be a commencement speaker in May of last year. Sebelius has a record of supporting abortion rights, and abortion is the issue that really sets Blatty’s nerves on fire.He describes, his voice trembling, a particular abortion procedure in graphic detail.He pauses. His voice is nearly a whisper.“That’s demonic.”

UPI reports that Barilla pasta company will not use same-sex couples in ads

Barilla, who runs the company, the world's largest pasta maker, with his two brothers, went on to say that he supports gay marriage, but not same-sex couples who wish to adopt.

"I respect everyone who does what they want to do without bothering others. I'm also in favor of gay marriage. But not adoption in gay families," Barilla said. "As a father of multiple children, I believe it's very hard to raise kids in a same-sex couple"

"It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars! You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else. Heal the wounds, heal the wounds.... And you have to start from the ground up." -Pope Francis

The Department of Health and Human Services issued the Mandate that requires employer insurance to cover contraceptives.

Oh, and let's not forget that HHS will be manning the Death Panels.

UPDATE:
Murder is never a solution. Never. But it is worth noting, as Anne Dachel has, that the Arizona mother who murdered her autistic son had a case in Vaccine Court. She had waited 8 years for a verdict. The article has since been "scrubbed" by the Daily Mail.

An Arizona mother killed her children, one of whom was autistic. He was 13. It seems she had a case in Vaccine "Court."

Daily Mail: "The doting mother sued the Secretary of Health and Human Services in 2004, alleging a vaccination gave her son autism, court records showed. The case was dismissed only last year."Citing a lack of medical records supporting Ms Edge's claim, and the lack of a valid medical opinion to further bolster it, Chief Special Master Patricia Campbell-Smith dismissed the suit for 'insufficient proof.'

"Ms Edge was awarded a judgment in the amount of $7,692 to settle legal fees owed for the suit. It is not clear if or when she ever received that money."

There are no large cultural stimuli to force Cyrus the Younger to question society’s classical norms. No struggle to win the vote for women and then blacks. No Verdun, with a million dead in the muck. No Great Depression, with rampant starvation.

Instead we live in a psychodramatic age of virtual oppression and feigned want, in which “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is updated with Oprah’s melodramatic account of being denied a closer look at a $38,000 Swiss handbag. Our version of D-Day is the question whether or not to lob a few cruise missiles at Bashar Assad to make Obama’s redlines red. Soup kitchens and five-cent apples have transmogrified into electronic EBT cards and Obamaphones. Where is the elemental inspiration, the existential need to tap popular anguish and turn it into revolutionary artistic expression?

Some of us saw long ago the connection between the use of contraception and the debilitating scourge of unwed pregnancy in our culture, which is the source of the “need” for abortion, of the ubiquitous practice of promiscuous sex and of cohabitation.

More are seeing the connection between single parenthood and the terrible cycle of poverty besetting a frightening portion of our population. More are even seeing the terrible health effects and environmentally bad effects of contraception.

Consumers can read a bottle of shampoo and know whether animals were tested to develop the product. However, there is not a certification stamp to know if human beings were exploited in products we use—especially vaccines, biologic medicines, cosmetics, foods and beverages. SCPI is developing a certification program to let consumers know that no objectionable human materials or contaminants were used in their products.

Our stamp will certify that a product was not developed with nor does it contain material taken from · victims of human trafficking, · executed prisoners, · exploited, vulnerable, or impoverished people, · directly or electively aborted human fetuses or embryos,· human embryonic material derived from electively or intentionally discarded, destroyed or injured human embryos, · or any other human materials obtained in a manner that does not respect the sanctity of each human life.

Been a tough summer. Good news in Texas with their new laws limiting abortion. Bad news in Ireland, regressing to paganism. Culture of Death still running rampant with Obamacare, but a nice little story in this Year of Faith about Kirsten Powers and her encounter with the Hound of Heaven.

..."I live in a world where nobody is a believer. But God pursued me.”
And it could happen to you too!!

Research from SoundChoice.org:Our research shows that introducing a vaccine
manufactured using aborted fetal cell lines is
associated with every ‘change point’ for autism
disorder that can be calculated. A change point
is a statistically derived birth year for which
autism disorder takes a steep rise. Change
points point to environmental factors as
triggers for disease epidemics, and human fetal
manufactured vaccines are the most closely
associated environmental factors for the autism
disorder epidemic we are seeing.
Not only are the change point years
associated with the introduction of human fetal
manufactured vaccines, but additionally, the
number of children diagnosed with autism for
each birth year can be directly correlated to
the number of children who are immunized
with these vaccines. At Sound Choice, we think
it is time to do something about this, which is
why we have launched a program to develop
alternative cell lines to replace the aborted
fetal vaccines. We cannot do this without the
support of each and every one of you. Learn more about Sound Choice.

More insight into buying and selling of aborted fetal parts...Material from spontaneous
miscarriages is seldom, if ever, useful for
biomedical research, because miscarriages take
place over days, and by the time the
miscarriage is complete the organs and the cells
are largely non-viable. To efficiently make cell
lines from fetuses or to do biomedical research,
the processing must be planned and the
material must be fresh. Furthermore, the
unborn babies and parents are screened before
the abortion to ensure that there are no
genetic anomalies, no viral infections, or any
other concern that would render the aborted
baby as unfit for biomedical purposes. You can
read a bit about this on pages 91-95 in the
meeting minutes from the FDA that are linked
below. Even the scientist admits that “it
sounds a bit commercial”.
(http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/01/tr
anscripts/3750t1_01.pdf) A list of the vaccines
made using cell lines that were obtained from
electively aborted fetuses is available for
download from our website at:

Austin Ruse takes you behind the scenes to see how the Culture of Death Lobby squashed the Komen Foundations attempt to unshackled itself from Planned Parenthood.

The clean sweep at the Komen Foundation is finally complete. A few days ago Komen founder Nancy Brinker finally lost her job as CEO. It took a while but they finally got rid of her, the woman who watched her sister suffer and die from breast cancer, who dedicated her life to eradicating the disease, who created one of the most successful global health charities in the world. They removed her for the crime of trying to defund Planned Parenthood. She’s being replaced by a woman some say had a hand in developing Obamacare and who has never run a non-profit.She was the last of the triumvirate who had the audacity to try and get Susan G. Komen for the Cure out of the culture wars around abortion.

Rush is right ...again. And hat tip to the site (which we can't remember cause it's Monday morning) that posted to this at Breitbart:

The conservative host went on to discuss that the reason why amnesty is essential to the liberal agenda is because abortion has, since Roe v. Wade in 1973, wiped out millions of potential taxpayers. The Democrat Party, Limbaugh said, has turned to amnesty as a means to ensure a “permanent underclass” in order to continue its image as the party of big government entitlements.

Folks, let me tell you the way Washington thinks, in many ways, but this is one way they think. They need money. The US government needs money. We are hopelessly in debt. The tax increases that are coming are already over the top. Washington knows, much of official Washington knows that they've gone beyond the point here, taxation, because the impact on economic growth and productivity and creativity has now been stifled. I mean, the tax rates are such that real creation of wealth, real opportunity for prosperity is diminishing left and right.

They've got to come up with money. And they know this: If you use the popularly accepted figure of 1.3 million abortions a year, go back to Roe vs. Wade 1973, 52 million taxpayers haven't been born, is the way Washington looks at it. They don't look at it morally. They don't look at it in any kind of cultural way or any kind of cultural impact. They just say we're 52 million people short. We have 52 million fewer people paying taxes. We gotta replace 'em. Hello amnesty. The Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass in order to keep themselves alive as Santa Claus, to keep winning elections and stay in power.

“I think that the number of abortions themselves…culturally, in terms of the sanctity of life, how that’s crumbled, I think it’s almost at the root of everything,” Limbaugh went on to say. “And if it’s not at the root of everything, it’s clearly had a profound impact on our culture, our society, and our politics, I think in ways that people don’t even stop to consider.”

Now we are rather inclined towards thinking that DNA from aborted fetal parts is a major autism trigger in vaccines (MMR and Shingles/Chickenpox for example) but Age of Autism makes a compelling case for mercury also being an underlying culprit.

So watch the video (only 9 minutes) and then pull the trigger (so to speak) and help it go viral.

Oh, and here is the information about aborted baby parts used in medicine, cosmetics, and FOOD!

Two Franks, surprisingly, on the same wave length. Pope Francis and Frank Bruni.First, Pope Francis. Be open to children.“No, no, not more than one child, because otherwise we will not be able to go on holiday, we will not be able to go out, we will not be able to buy a house. It’s all very well to follow the Lord, but only up to a certain point. This is what economic wellbeing does to us: we all know what wellbeing is, but it deprives us of courage, of the courage we need to get close to Jesus. This is the first richness of the culture of today, the culture of economic wellbeing”.Now Frank Bruni.Too bad more people won't know what a gift it is to have siblings."That’s how it goes in a pack of siblings, and I sometimes wonder, when it comes to the decline in fertility rates in our country and others, whether the economic impact will be any more significant than the intimate one. For better or worse, fewer people will know the challenges and comforts of a sprawling clan."

Before I was a mother, I imagined parenthood to be a marathon of sorts – worth it in the long run but painfully difficult while the race was being run. Good parents sacrificed to give their children what they needed to grow and parents reap the benefits over time as their children age and are able to reciprocate that love. While that is entirely true, I didn’t realize there was something wonderful that was much more immediate. I never imagined that being a mother wouldn’t feel like a sacrifice at all – at least not one that I minded. How could I have known that even one sided love can fill my heart to bursting?

Today's the day. Excellent photos at the "Live Blog" at Marcia Per La Vita.

Where have all the baby parts gone. Long time passing...
Seriously, since 1973 where have all the baby parts gone?
We don't mean Gosnell's mason jars, landfill, or heaven, but who is profiting, marketing, buy and selling, whichever term you want, off of these innocent children?

If the MSM could overcome Gosnell Trial Denial Syndrome perhaps they would investigate...
Who is selling baby parts to medical research? And who is buying?
Who is buying baby parts for cosmetics?
Who is buying baby parts for flavor enhancers?

Gosh, another March for Life just popped up on our radar, this time in the Czech Republic, where March 25th is the National Day of the Unborn. Lifesitenewshas the story:

Organizers of the annual Czech National March for Life said this year's demonstration surpassed all expectations as thousands of pro-lifers filled the streets to give witness to the need to end abortion in the Czech Republic.
According to Hnuti Pro zivot CR (Movement for Life Czech Republic), what began with a small contingent of Czech pro-lifers observing the "Day of the Unborn Child" every March 25th has grown into a large and ever-growing demonstration. This year’s march – the 13th annual - in Prague attracted almost 3,000 participants, up from about 2,000 that have attended in the past few years.

A top Vatican official on life issues called the demonstrations sweeping across the U.S. this week against abortion a historic witness to the sanctity of human life.

“These marches for life that are taking place across the United States are very important, not only for the country, but for the whole world,” Bishop Ignacio Carrasco de Paula, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, told CNA Jan. 23.

“These events which favor human life without limits, from conception until the end, have become a very important historical reference for all other Catholic countries worldwide,” he added.

Definition of Foundling Hospital: noun. A hospital where foundlings (infant children of unknown parents) are taken in and cared for.

I remember the year abortion became legal in New York State, before it became legal in the whole nation. I worked at the New York Foundling Hospital and it was not unusual for us to take in at least three or four newborns a week. Most were given up for adoption. After legalized abortion, we barely took in three babies a year. Only older children. It left me with a profound sadness to know what became of the babies.

From the comments section of theNCRegister article about the Archbishop of Denver, Samuel Aquila. Worth a read, along with Aquila's recent pastoral letter.54,559,615 abortions in America since Roe v. Wade.

30,000 Pro-Lifers turned up for the Vigil. LifeSiteNews has the story. Snippet:

DailyMailUK reports that a 3D scan of a disabled baby's smile convinced his mother not to abort him - and why she is grateful she was able to cuddle him with joy for a few precious hours.Whole story here.Robert Oscar Lopez on the "Lessons from France on Defending Marriage."

France offers activists an example of a country that can question gay rhetoric without engaging in the violent homophobia one sees in the repressive laws of Putin’s Russia. Those who feel no ill will toward LGBT people, but who believe that there is something special about male-female relationships—marriages—especially because of their role in rearing children, must watch closely what unfurls.

There is much to ponder here, but one thing that gives me pause is how far down the road of objectification we have traveled in the U.S. This is quite obvious, of course, when it comes to the epidemic of pornography, but it is also a serious problem when it comes to children. In short, there are many Americans who believe they have a right to "have children", and to treat children like projects or even experiments, as if they are blank slates that can be filled up with the whims of their parents (and others).

Elizabeth Levwonders how Western Civilization came to the conclusion that a Down Syndrome free world is a good thing, now that Denmark has declared itself Down-free and Perfect.
